What is a Home Watch service?

Home Watch is a scheduled visual inspection of an unoccupied home or property to identify obvious hazards before they turn into costly disasters. We perform structured inspections across Citrus County to monitor for water leaks, humidity spikes, HVAC failures, pest activity, mold growth, storm damage, and security breaches.

Why do I need a Home Watch company?

When a Florida home sits vacant during travel or seasonal absences, minor issues can quickly become major losses. In addition, many homeowners insurance policies restrict or deny coverage for unmonitored properties vacant for longer than 14 days. Our professional visits protect your investment, keep your home maintained, and ensure policy compliance while you are away.

How often should Home Watch inspections occur?

We offer Weekly and Bi-Weekly schedules. Bi-Weekly checks satisfy standard insurance requirements, while Weekly visits are highly recommended during hot, high-humidity summer months and active hurricane season when system failures escalate rapidly.

What areas do you serve?

We proudly serve Lecanto, Black Diamond, Citrus Hills, Pine Ridge, Beverly Hills, Crystal River, Homosassa, Sugarmill Woods, Inverness, and surrounding Central Citrus County communities.

What’s included in a Home Watch inspection?

Each visit includes a comprehensive, multi-point inspection:

• Visual interior and exterior perimeter walkthrough

• Plumbing trap cycling and toilet flushing

• Visual check for water leaks, mold, pests, and forced entry

• HVAC and security system status verification

• Mail, package, and door flyer retrieval

• Optional monthly upgrades for diagnostic moisture scanning, laser temp tests, and vehicle starts

How do I receive my inspection reports?

We utilize Mitti, industry-leading Home Watch software, to deliver interactive digital inspection reports after every visit. Your Mitti report includes GPS-timestamped photos, climate readings, and completed checklist items delivered directly to your email or smartphone portal within 24 hours.

Can you help before or after a hurricane?

Yes. We provide pre-storm preparation (securing outdoor furniture, checking window closures) and post-storm rapid inspections to verify power status, scan for roof or water intrusion, and send photo updates. Active subscribers receive priority dispatch following severe weather events.

Do you offer emergency visits?

Yes. Non-scheduled emergency response is available if an alarm trips, a neighbor reports an issue, or unexpected repairs require immediate boots on the ground.

What is the cost of Home Watch services?

We offer simple, predictable monthly rates starting at $100/month for Bi-Weekly service and $160/month for Weekly service. Optional maintenance upgrades and concierge services can be added anytime. Visit our Pricing page for a complete breakdown.
